Jackels lift is the bomb trouble you might have is the turn signal lights on the handle bars will most likely hit the tank so look into a kit that will move them down on the front forks.JMO Another thing I first bought a three inch lift from JP cycle and found that to much of the frame was showing so I went with a two inch.

3" is pretty extreme. I have it on my SG and love it, but the bike is black and that makes the exposed frame relatively invisible.

Hard to say what it would look like on the FB, unless you were gonna put apes on it, then it would probably be nice looking.

I was on the fence too but I really like it. I got the 2" lift. At the price Jackyl is selling it to forum members for and considering how quick and easy it is to install, why not give it a try. If you don't like it, take it off and sell it to someone else looking for one. I really like mine, I'm not taking it off.
